This was really
the first of the Weston Meter range. It was made in 1932 by Weston Electrical
Instrument Corporation at their Newark, New Jersey plant, and was originally
sold for $40. As you can see from the pictures, it was a beautiful piece of
equipment. After just 2 years, it was replaced by the single cell 617-2.
